Back in the day, legendary artists like Johnny Cash performed at prisons. Comedians have as well. We know WWE has no issue with visiting non-traditional venues like military bases and so forth. It probably wouldn't happen today, but perhaps during the Attitude Era or in ECW it could have happened. Imagine the coverage show like this would get, and how interesting it would be to see how a crowd like that would respond. Prisoners would be be happy to just enjoy any sort of entertainment, especially one that involves a macho style and presence.
What do you think of the idea of a pro wrestling prison show?

 "...Wrestling in Prison?"  "What?! *laughing* No...no...no."  "If you don't do it - Sky will."  |

Remember that scene in Apocalypse Now when "Suzy Q" is playing? That will probably happen.

Without any women's matches....If you had Alexa in one of her little outfits in a male prison we could see a pretty nasty prison riot.

Terrible idea. In a correctional facility where many are violent felons I doubt the violence of the WWE would be productive to their recovery.

Just imagine how much they would have loved to have seen Big Bossman!

I could MAYBE see it happening in the attitude era but they wouldn't touch that now

If you're in prison, you don't deserve to be entertained.

No. That is a hugging terrible idea. On par with the most terrible ideas I have ever heard in my entire life.

I agree with that being a terrible idea. It reminds me of the ending to The Blues Brothers where they performed Jailhouse Rock to the inmates and they almost broke out into a rioting frenzy. BTW Did you work for the state or county? |

That's a great idea!
It's up there with shaving with your eyes closed, walking barefoot on Lego, and sharing needles with Charlie Sheen.

BTW Did you work for the state or county? County. Just Like Big Boss Man working for the county. It's tough work being a corrections officer nowadays. 2 of my friends from high school work in the prisons, one state and the other federal. |

If you're in prison, you don't deserve to be entertained. Don't necessarily agree with that. It's supposed to be a motivation tool to give inmates incentive to reform and improve they're lives. Not everyone in prison is there for life. Some people are just misguided or never had someone pushing them in the right direction. A reward for good behavior can be helpful. Having said that, a wrestling show in a prison is a terrible idea. Crowds get violent in regular venues, the nature of the business amps people up. People would get carried away and get out of control. |
